The Costs of a Mortgage in the UK

More on the mortgage costs that can arise during the mortgage term

So you've moved in - What more fees could there possibly be?

Once you have moved in and settled down with your monthly payments, which should be on direct debit if possible, then you might think that all the fees are done with. Unfortunately, this isn't always true.

The good news is that many of these mid-term mortgage fees can be avoided with care and good planning, as most of them result from getting into arrears or requesting changes to your policy mid-term.

Arrears Fees and Costs of Falling Behind with Mortgage Payments

Getting into arrears with your mortgage is always bad news, and unfortunately lenders generally show no mercy, punishing borrowers who get behind with a wide variety of extra fees. A few examples are:


* Mortgage arrears fees (monthly, whilst in arrears)

* Arrears Breakdown Fee (a statement detailing your arrears)

* Solicitors Letter & Instruction Fees

* Auction Attendance Fee (if your home is repossessed)

* Possession Fee (if your home is repossessed)

* County Court Fees

* Unpaid Building Insurance Fee

* Unpaid Direct Debit & Unpaid [bounced] Cheque Fees

* Interim or Duplicate Mortgage Statement Fee

* Mortgage Balance Breakdown Fee

Fees for Changing Your Mortgage

Sometimes you will want or need to make some changes to your mortgage policy whilst it is still running.

The following fees cover some of those scenarios. Whether it is letting out your property, selling some of your land, or adding someone's name to the mortgage, there is often a fee:

* Tenancy Request Fee, Consideration of Letting Fee

* Part Sale of Land Fee

* Transfer of Equity Fee (adding/removing someone from the mortgage)

* Deeds Release Fee (if needed for temporary inspection)

* Second Charge Fee/Mortgage Reference (if you are securing further borrowing on your property)
